Answer 1

1. this is where the percipitiation is in the direction of the mountain, and the only way for the percipitation to find "relief" (it is also called relief percip.) is to rise over the mountain and follow the mountain curves.

depending on the mountain, this could add/release percipitation.

3. Weathering has two types:

Mechanical & Chemical

1. Mechanical weathering tends to disintigrate the rock to smaller fragments without change in chemical composition. It occurs through many processes (e.g. Unloading, Frost Wedging, Crystal Growth, Freezing-Thawing, growth of plant roots, and effect of burrowing animals)

2. Chemical weathering results in a change in the chemical composition of the rock by one or more of these processes (Oxidation, Hydrolysis, Hydration, Dissolution, and Carbonation)
